A Department for Infrastructure spokesperson said: "The Department has programmed the work operations to minimise inconvenience, however, road users should expect some delays and are advised to allow additional time when travelling in the area.

"To help ensure the safety of road users and road workers, the public is asked to comply with all temporary traffic restrictions and to drive with care, when travelling through, or in the vicinity of, the works.

"Work is expected to be completed by December 7, however this will be dependent on the progress of the scheme and on favourable weather conditions."
